Quick and Easy Fat Free Recipes: Fat Free Muffins

If you have recently or are about to embark upon a fat free diet then you might be in for a rather nasty shock. A fat free diet is in fact extremely hard to keep up for any period of time, but not because of your will power. Instead this is as a result of the sheer lack of choice when it comes to fat free recipes.

You might have chosen to go on a fat free diet to try and lose a few pounds before your summer holiday or you may have been advised by a doctor to do so for your health. Either way, it is extremely difficult to avoid eating fat completely. Almost all packaged foods have a fat content so you are left to make your own food three times a day to ensure that no fat passes your lips, which brings us on to the next problem we have with a fat free diet.

Completely fat free recipes are not easy to come by, and delicious fat free recipes are even harder to find! From personal experience, most of the fat free recipes out there taste extremely bland and are difficult to stomach, but there is one out there that you will absolutely love! Fat free muffins are gorgeous if you follow the recipe to the letter.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup sugar
1 cup soy milk
½ cup softened soy margarine
2 teaspoons egg replacer
2 tablespoons water

2 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup blueberries/apples/raspberries/chocolate chips (or any other filling of your choice)

Method

Before mixing any of the ingredients, you should heat the oven to 400F/200C and prepare the muffin pan. Use muffin paper liners rather than greasing the tray.

Next, seive the flour, egg replacer and baking powder into a large bowl to remove any lumps and add the salt and sugar. When those ingredients are in the bowl, pour in the soy milk and add the margarine and water. Mix the ingredients together until the margarine has blended in, but do not mix it for too long because that will remove all the air and make the muffins taste too heavy.

Add the ingredient of your choice (blueberries, raspberries, chocolate chips etc) and just fold them in to make sure they are spread evenly thoughout the mixture.

Divide the mixture between 8 to 10 muffin papers and put them in the oven. Bake the muffins for approximately 20 minutes until they are done. Take the muffins out of the oven and place them on a wire tray to cool. You can eat them straight away or freeze them until you are ready to eat them.

Et Viola!

As you can see, the fat free recipes for muffins are quick and easy, and they taste delicious so you can at least stick to the snacks part of your fat free diet if nothing else!
